Radio Waves and Polaritons in the Presence of an External Static Magnetic Field

Subject and Purpose. The use of spatially structured ferromagnets is promising for designing materials with unique predetermined electromagnetic properties welcome to the development of magnetically controlled microwave and optical devices. The paper addresses the electromagnetic properties of structured ferrite samples of a different shape (spatial geometry) and is devoted to their research by the method of electron spin resonance (ESR). Methods and methodology. The research into magnetic properties of structured ferrite samples was performed by the ESR method. The measurements of transmission coefficient spectra were carried out inside a rectangular waveguide with an external magnetic field applied. Results. We have experimentally shown that over a range of external magnetic field strengths, the frequency of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of grooved ferrite samples (groove type spatial geometry) increases with the groove depth. The FMR frequency depends also on the groove orientation relative to the long side of the sample. We have shown that as the external static magnetic field approaches the saturation field of the ferrite, the FMR frequency dependence on the external static magnetic field demonstrates "jump-like" behavior. And as the magnetic field exceeds the ferrite saturation field, the FMR frequency dependence on the groove depth gets a monotonic character and rises with the further growth of the field strength. Conclusion. We have shown that the use of structured ferrites as microwave electronics components becomes reasonable at magnetic field strengths exceeding the saturation field of the ferrite. At these fields, such a ferrite offers a monotonically increasing dependence of the resonant frequency on the external magnetic field and on the depth of grooves on the ferrite surface. Structured ferrites are promising in the microwave range as components of controlled filters, polarizers, anisotropic ferrite resonators since they can provide predetermined effective permeability and anisotropy

External Static Magnetic Field

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the mechanism of Ni particles distribution in the liquid Sn3.5Ag melt under the external static magnetic field. The control steps of Ni particles and the Sn3.5Ag melt metallurgical process were studied. After aging, the microhardness of pure Sn3.5Ag, Sn3.5Ag containing randomly distributed Ni particles and Sn3.5Ag containing columnar Ni particles were compared. Design/methodology/approach Place the sample in a crucible for heating. After the sample melts, place a magnet directly above and below the sample to provide a magnetic field. Sn3.5Ag with the different morphological distribution of Ni particles was obtained by holding for different times under different magnetic field intensities. Finally, pure Sn3.5Ag, Sn3.5Ag with random distributed Ni particles and Sn3.5Ag with columnar Ni particles were aged and their microhardness was tested after aging. Findings The experimental results show that with the increase of magnetic field strength, the time for Ni particle distribution in Sn3.5Ag melt to reach equilibrium is shortened. After aging, the microhardness of Sn3.5Ag containing columnar nickel particles is higher than that of pure Sn3.5Ag and Sn3.5Ag containing randomly distributed nickel particles. A chemical reaction is the control step in the metallurgical process of nickel particles and molten Sn3.5Ag. Originality/value Under the action of the magnetic field, Ni particles in Sn3.5Ag melt will be arranged into columns. With the increase of magnetic field strength, the shorter the time for Ni particles in Sn3.5Ag melt to arrange in a column. With the extension of the service time of the solder joint, if Sn3.5Ag with columnar nickel particles is used as the solder joint material, its microhardness is better than Sn3.5Ag with arbitrarily distributed nickel particles and pure Sn3.5Ag.

ABSTRACT We present a model for fast radio bursts (FRBs) where a large-amplitude Alfvén wave packet is launched by a disturbance near the surface of a magnetar, and a substantial fraction of the wave energy is converted to coherent radio waves at a distance of a few tens of neutron star radii. The wave amplitude at the magnetar surface should be about 1011 G in order to produce an FRB of isotropic luminosity 1044 erg s−1. An electric current along the static magnetic field is required by Alfvén waves with non-zero component of transverse wave vector. The current is supplied by counter-streaming electron–positron pairs, which have to move at nearly the speed of light at larger radii as the plasma density decreases with distance from the magnetar surface. The counter-streaming pairs are subject to two-stream instability, which leads to formation of particle bunches of size of the order of c/ωp, where ωp is the plasma frequency. A strong electric field develops along the static magnetic field when the wave packet arrives at a radius where electron–positron density is insufficient to supply the current required by the wave. The electric field accelerates particle bunches along the curved magnetic field lines, and that produces the coherent FRB radiation. We provide a number of predictions of this model.
